Summer Centerpiece: From the Garden to Your Tabletop
By: Kim Coleman & Isabella Cirelli
A centerpiece doesn’t have to be all about flowers, use vegetables as a unique twist. Create this centerpiece using only the goodies from your garden or even any leftover produce from your fridge.
You Will Need:
- Floral Picks
- Floral Shears
- Wooden Box
- Oasis Floral Foam
- Fresh Flowers (To help fresh flowers from wilting put them in warm water)
- Vegetables (We used bell peppers, kale, basil, oregano, artichokes, and parsley)
How To :
Step 1: Soak your oasis in warm water for about 5 min.
Step 2: Cut the oasis so it fits in your container (vase, box, etc.)
Step 3: Wrap the wire of the floral pick around the stem of the bell pepper.
Step 4: Start creating your centerpiece by establishing focal points (ours was the bell peppers and artichokes)
Step 5: Add your greenery. Remember whatever you do to one side try to match it on the other)
Step 6: Add flower accents.
Step 7: End by hiding any empty spots with greenery fillers and you’re done!
